So...did the valve check yesterday (crappy video to follow later on Brothers, Bikes, & Bourbon YT channel). Some findings and comments:
thanks to all for advice.
- INTAKE
- .127mm left (spec is .10mm - .17mm)
- .152mm right
- .127mm left (spec is .10mm - .17mm)
- EXHAUST
- .36mm left (spec is .34mm - .41mm)
- .381mm right
- .36mm left (spec is .34mm - .41mm)
- Valve covers came off with just some upward-and-outward pressure
- We could not align a straight-edge, because the new cam design precludes that (wish I'd take a closeup but, oh well)
- I'm still gonna have the dealer do the check in September when they also replace the air filter and reset the service nag warning.
